The Friendship of Men and Women.

Ella Wheeler Wilcox: When | pom
dered over all that / had heard, and
placed my personal experience
and Impressions along with the other
testimony, my conclusions might be
classified something as follows:
First-Men are more enthusiastic
and ready to spouse the cause of
women than her sister women are.
MSecond-Women, when their interest
is finally won, are more lasting IN their
friend ships.
Third-There is an instructive rival
ry between women which, until it is
overcome by the bonds Of sympathy,
is a bar to true, unselfsh friendship.
Fourth-There is an instructive at
traction between men and women
which is a bar to safe, unseliish friend
ship.
Fifth-Men expect more in return for
their favors than women do.
Sixth Men are far more agreeable
to approach in airy matter requiring
courtesy and politeness.
Seventh-Women are far safer and
more reliable friends in the long run.
Eighth--Tne friendship of men no.
ticeably decreases after Il women mar
ries.
Ninih-Tbe friendship of ONE no.
ticeably strengthens after a woman
marries.
Tenth good and efficient man is
a better friend and adviser than
weak woman.
ELEVENTH. good and efficient wo-
man is a better friend and adviser than
a weak man.
Twelfth--There is no rule which
governs the matter

turies. David, bad in early life, but
good in later life. cries out with an
agony OF earnestness "Remcmber not
the sins of my youth"
Stephen A. Douglas gave the name
of "squatter sovereignty" to those who
went out west and took possession of
lands and held them by right of pre-
occupation. Let a flock of sins settle
on your heart before you get to twenty
five years of age, and they will in all

NO REMEDY FOR EARLY DISSIPATION.
WhatP win a mans body never
completely recover from early dissipa-
ton in this world? Never. How
about the world to come? Perhaps
God will fix it up in the resurrection
body SO that it will not have TO 90
limping through all eternity; but get
the liver thoroughly damaged and it
will stay damaged. Physicians call it
cancer of the liver, or hardening of the
liver, or cirrhosis of the liver, but Sol
ONION puts all these pangs into one
figure aud says: It'll the dart strike
through his liver"
Hesiod seemed TO have some hint OF
this when he represented Prometheus
for his crimes fastened TO a pillar and
an eagle feeding on his liver, which
was removed again each night, SO that
the d%cyourjng went on until finally
Hercules slew the eagle and rescued
Prometheus. And n d~issipated early life
assures a ferocity pecking away and
clawing away at the liver year in and
year out, and death is the only Hcrcu-
les who can break the power of its
beak or unclench its claws. So also
Virgil and Homer wrote fables about
yultures prey ing upon the liver, but
there are those here to-day with whom
it is no fable, but a terrible reality.
That young man smoking cigarettes
and smoking cigars has no ldea that
he is getting for himself smoked liver.
That young man Woo has no idea that
he has by early dissipation so depleted
his energies that he will 90 into the
battle only half armed.

When "a foreign opera composer
runs across a good catching waltz
he builds waltz round 1t and UNI

waltz all through the piece, oc-
